A few items will need to be examined when becoming a wedding DJ. The following tips will be helpful in the process that one should follow to reach the goal of DJ for weddings. A list that is tallied when getting prepared will also help.
Any successful DJ must have a diverse and well rounded music collection. When becoming a wedding DJ, it is even more vital. The wedding party will have certain requests, and the guests will most likely end up all asking for very different songs. There are some mainstays, but it helps to have random items as well.
The bride and groom and their family will obviously have specific requests for special moments and dances at the reception. The guests will most likely be quite diverse in terms of what music they enjoy. Once the alcohol flows, everyone will be asking for their favorite song.
There will be very sentimental songs played at the beginning of the reception. Brides will often dance with their father and mothers will dance with the groom (these can be other relatives or friends that served in this capacity as well). These songs will often be slower, and are likely to bring tears.
The new couple will usually participate in their first dance as a married couple. A good DJ will have a large repertoire of these songs ahead of time. If there are other special requests, then one will want to obtain those for the couple. Some of these songs will often be slow, and some may even be oldies.
Surprisingly, "The Hokey Pokey" will get many guests out onto the dance floor. Even the shyer ones will laugh and do the dance, and kids will also get more adults on the floor in a case like this. The tango, foxtrot, waltz, and other ballroom dances are popular at many wedding receptions. The couple may also have taken classes in these steps to get ready for the wedding reception.
A DJ with diverse knowledge will have some dancing games up his or her sleeve. These will call for certain songs and types of songs. Money games are popular, often as a way to get guests to help out with the couple's honeymoon. Good luck dances also work well.
Radio production classes can help in the quest to being a good DJ. These sometimes even teach lighting or other skills in addition to teaching fading and mixing.
A contract or several contracts should always be part of the wedding preparations. Downloadable forms are online so that the DJ can have these easily on hand. A cancelled gig after months of planning is not a good thing, and the DJ should be protected if this happens to occur.
Renting or buying used equipment is a good way to save money at the outstart. Turntables, speakers, CDs and players, lights, and light balls are needed. A venue for an event may have these items in place, or may let a new DJ use them while running the event. Lights and tables may already be on site.
These are all some basic ways to get the ball rolling in becoming a wedding DJ.
